conradslater vs Misselaineous10 is a YouTube Poop tennis match that took place between August 11 to August 21, 2007. It is recognized for being the very first video tennis match ever played.

In the months leading up to the organization of this match, Conrad Slater had already long been a fan and participant of Photoshop Tennis, and evidence exists on the old YouChew forums of him engaging with the community in such an activity earlier in the summer of 2007. Considered to be a visionary of his generation, it was not long after that Conrad put together the natural equation of YouTube Poop as it was at the time with the context of a tennis exchange, as such an exchange with video had yet to happen on the internet. His original post asking for an opponent is occasionally remembered for its very forward thinking and casual approach to a medium that hadn't even existed before it: "I've got some time free now - althogh I should be doing poroper work - I quite fancy making a few quick rounds; 6 - rounds - 3 [videos] each. 24 hour limit per round, 3 clip addition per round, no time limit on each [video], no winner"

Misselaineous10 originally expressed interest, but did not immediately accept due to personal life events. She finally officially joined the match as Conrad's opponent three days after his serve was made, and finished her Round 2 only a couple of hours later. The rest of the match was completed over the following week.

As soon as only a matter of months later, the match was being celebrated, documented and discussed in detail not only for being the first match ever played, but also as a match of fantastic quality and entertainment value in its own right. Round 5 and 6 in particular continue to be praised and remembered for the earth-shattering precedents that they set for the visual, energetic and musical editing present across both videos. In RabbitSnore's retrospective review of the match November of 2007, he summarized it aptly as "a paragon of [video] tennis, the [rounds] superb, the editing never lazy. This is the way [video] tennis ought to be played." He also around the same time referred to it as the best tennis match he had ever seen, going on to give particular praise to Miss10's Round 6 as a favorite and highlight. He would express the desire to play both players, both matches of which would happen.

In the early versions of Rabbit's Tennis Café threads, he and Crash2991 often brought up this match as part of the early canon consisting of tennis's best and most legendary matches, which included the oft-mentioned RabbitSnore vs. conradslater(2007) and MilkR0und vs. Y2Zero(2007). This match is often seen as setting a template for much of the tennis that was to follow after it, with Round 5 and 6 of this match in particular being seen as a gateway to the many matches that would subsequently come to rely on the increasingly intense visual and aural editing that would become the dominant image of tennis entirely. The match has been referenced many times throughout its history; being sampled in GameBop's Round 1 with Sploltoen and MycroProcessor in the 3-Way Tennis Tournament, "Seconds, Anyone?" (2010), in Moogle's Round 1 of the Tennis Staff Multi Way, "What, do you want me to play with your tail?" (2009), in dani_phantump's Round 4 with CaptainStringCheese (2012), in mrdoognoog's round 4 vs. fiv95 (2021), and in TheChutley's Round 1 with vel 17(2025). While the original uploads have since vanished due to Conrad privating/deleting his channel output and Miss10's channel becoming deleted, the match has been fully preserved and was compiled into a single video on the official tennis archive channel YouWouldBeWelcome, which was named as an inverse to Round 1 of this match, "You wouldn't be welcome", in November 2019.
